Conn catalogs in the early 1920's call A=440 low pitch. Likewise, King catalogs in the 30's.
Our community band has a small BBb York with the donut high/low pitch attachment, and the branch slides were marked with a line for low pitch. very clever.
There have been several discussions of pitch standards here on the BBS, I think someone put up a good history a year or so ago. Archives??
